- NetWare 3.11 Server with Appletalk
-
- This document applies to the EtherExpress(tm) 16, 16TP, 16C, FLASH,
- FLASH TP, FLASHC, MCA, and MCA/TP.
-
- This document (or an updated version) is also available on FaxBACK,
- document #6425.
-
- MacIntosh EtherTalk drivers come in several flavors:
- Driver Frame Type
- =======================================
- EtherTalk 802.3
- EtherTalk 1.0 Type II (8137)
- EtherTalk 1.3 Type II (8137)
- EtherTalk 2.0 SNAP
- EtherTalk 2.01 SNAP
-
- Adapter drivers can be loaded and bound in many ways as you will see in
- the example below. The statements in CAPs are required statements for
- EtherTalk or are necessary to get a specific frame type
- operational.
-
- Be sure that the server has an additional 4 megs of RAM.
-
- Be sure that the Startup.ncf includes the command LOAD MAC. This is the
- Macintosh Name Service. The file, MAC.NAM, must be in the bootup
- partition and in the same directory as Server.exe. This file comes with
- the NetWare software.
-
- This is a sample of an NetWare 3.11 Autoexec.ncf with MacIntosh EtherTalk
- drivers.

- Notes:
-
- Ethernet_II frames support AppleTalk phase I.
-
- Ethernet_snap frames support AppleTalk phase II.
-
- Load APPLETLK refers to loading the APPLETLK.NLM. This is the
- AppleTalk stack and router. The NET=5000 is an aribtrary appletalk
- network number similar to the internal IPX net address. It must be a
- unique number on the internet. ZONEs are logical groupings of
- appletalk equipment for file and print services.
-
- Bind APPLETLK is binding the Appletalk protocol to an Ethernet Type
- II frame or to the Ethernet SNAP frame. The NET= in these statements
- is different from the NET= in the Bind IPX statements. It is a range
- of network numbers found on the appletalk network. Net numbers for
- AppleTalk Phase II must be defined as a range even if that range is
- one digit long (i.e. net=20-20). Net numbers for AppleTalk Phase I
- are single digit, 1-F like net=b.
-
- Normally the INT= (interrupt) is not included in a load statement for
- the EtherExpress adapter, however, when you are re-entrantly loading
- modules if you do not include the INT=, you will be prompted for it
- and then prompted for the frame type. This requires a person to
- interact with the server during the boot process.
-
- Load AFP - This is the loading of the AppleTalk File Protocol v2.0.
- It is used to file requests to the server.
-
- Load ATPS - This is the loading of the AppleTalk Print Server. It
- processes requests from both the DOS and MAC workstations
